At the end of his address to the U.S. Congress, Zelensky switched to English:
"Today the Ukrainian people are defending not only Ukraine. We are fighting for the values of Europe and the world, sacrificing our lives in the name of the future."
"That’s why today the American people are helping not just Ukraine, but the world to keep the planet alive, to keep justice in history."
"Now I’m almost 45 years old. Today my age stopped, when the hearts of more than 100 children stopped beating. I see no sense in life if it cannot stop the death.
And this is my main mission as the leader of my people, great Ukrainians."
⚡️European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen quotes the Kyiv Independent during a speech to European Parliament.
⚡️Ursula von der Leyen:
"Let me quote the editorial of one Ukrainian newspaper, the Kyiv Independent, published hours before the invasion began: 'This is not just about Ukraine, it's a clash of two worlds, two polar sets of values.' They are so right."
⚡️Ursula von der Leyen:
"This is a clash between the rule of law and the rule of the gun, between democracies and autocracies, between a rules-based order and naked aggression. How we respond today to what Russia is doing will determine the future of the international system."
